I never got to finish the series so I'm beginning it again. Because I don't remember anything. And I'm curious.

I used to play the accompanying video game which had a lot of potential. It was a decent amount of fun. I just didn't have anyone to play with at the time. It's long defunct and shut down. 🤷🏻

The hotly anticipated successor to Dogs Must Die has arrived. This time around I’m leading Chip by the hand through Farscape to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The Sci-Fi Channel’s dampest, foam rubber-est, most subversive and tangible original series is our topic for the next 50 or so episodes.

First we start at, and before, the beginning; with a look at Season 1, Episode 1: Premiere, and some highlights from its years of development.

This will be a premium show available to any donors in any amount on the Chip and Ironicus patreon, with the episode on each season’s premiere available for free. But, once our Patreon reaches $2,600 per month, the show will be free in its entirety.

So I was going to do a post where I said they should make a Mass Effect show where we follow a normal Spectre as they solve exciting-space crimes, but then, omg!, that's just the 90s movie / TV show Alien Nation that no one but me remembers.

I wasn't even sure I remembered it properly so I looked at the Wikipedia page:

Rockne S. O'Bannon.

I assume that is the same guy who did another obscure little sci-fi show that reminds me a lot of Mass Effect?

On May 7, 1990, the series finale of Alien Nation (1989 - 1990) based on the film (1988) of the same name aired. The final episode found human detective Matthew Sikes (Gary Graham) struggling with his feelings over his alien partner George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint) being promoted over him as well as his feelings for the alien Cathy Frankel (Terri Treas). On top of this, the detectives also were looking into possible biological terrorism being used against the alien newcomers. The series only ran for one season of 21 episodes.
